is rap "played-out"?

[kakashi]

idunno,

i used to be a die-hard rap fanatic, albums posters...anything rap related i knew about it.
dj premiere and nas or any rapper out of queens (75% of hip-hop). but the past 3 years
i've been partial to rap. electro, electro pop, punk, electro-punk and top 40...i mean my
friends always have listened to those genres anyway, especially at the club. but it just
seems to be more "real" than rap if you ever listen to the lyrics. i get more out of it.

is it just me or had hip-hop gotten played out? like disgustingly shameful played-out
like shoot the horse already played out?

 

[Master Zik]

Sounds like your beating something out

I feel the same way, this last year i've hardly listened to rap, i've been really getting into rock.

although i just attributed it to me getting older, not the actual music getting played out.

 

[club29]

you probably throw on some Kenny G and take a bubble bath too.

 

[boys noize]

All I listened to in high school was rap/hip hop. I also attributed my shift in music taste to growing up.

 

[disdiku8]

i agree with u man

 

[danikerhino]

Naw, it's just that alot of fans of rap don't like admitting they like other genre's of music until they get older.

 

[sherwin100s]

You're buggin. There's a lot of good hip-hop out there, you just have to look for it.


Also wrong forum BTW.

 

[itsgettinhot]

What you said in your first post is basically that is Hip Hop no longer good because you don't like it anymore. Like... really?

An opinion would be if you thought the quality of Hip Hop was on the decline.

But it's played out cuz you don't listen to it? Come the

on.

 

[kakashi]

no, this is the right forum...it's a general question. i was hoping to get other's opinion about the decline in hip-hop potency.
why would i post it in a music forum?...i'd get a biased opinion, that's not what i'm after. i respect ambivelance, before a biased
view on the matter.

Dude saying its "played out" so I assume he means that it isn't evolving to something he wants to hear. He didn't say he stopped listening toit, in fact, he said he has listened to it among many other genres when he & his friends go out. He also said he can relate more to the non-rap songs thanrap songs which is understandable and leads to further appreciation of said genres.

Basically he needs to search if he is looking for good rap because it isn't as readily available as the other genres of music. And your music tastes shouldchange as you get older. Nothing is wrong with you

Music isn't contemporary.
Just like everything else it changes over time.

Adapt or change. Your choice.

that one line is deeper than gucci mane's whole collection of mixed tapes and major releases.

 

[kanyewestjayz4life]

Naw, ive became a bigger rap head, with rapper that actually give me info for life. Im not going to name people, because there are to many.

But i listen to jazz, r&b, indie rock, classical, blues & others all the same. Im learning bass right now, so i can connect more to my music. What isplayed out to me is listen to rappers that arent talking about #%%.

to be honest, and I don't listen/like Gucci Mane at all, but rap has too many sides to just base it off (insert rapper). Not everyone listensto songs for lyrics. Some listen to bob their head to a beat, to dance to, etc. And rap is going to contine to evolve (or devolve depending on your opinion)and change to something else to represent the trend/fad of that time. And regardless of how you or I may feel about Gucci Mane, dude is making money soobviously he is what the people want. May not be the best but you can't hate on the dude for doing something positive with his "skillset" insteadof something negative. My 2 cents

Like Zik said, look harder. You're also listening to radio rap or this $*@! that NT hypes up.

i don't like it, i don't like/don't mean that i'm hating - common "6th sense"

i'm assuming the first line is from a different genre.

If you're going to make comparisons....make comparisons of the same caliber.

You pulled out a HOOK, from a rapper who is not known for his lyrical aptitude. You would have had a better argument quoting Lupe Fiasco.

 

[ydbounce]

Lets look it at it like this:
Music that black ppl make normally have a healthy run b4 they get played out and then something else is created becomes the new "it" music,that's initially panned by critics but adored by the white youth
Once upon a time Rock was ninja music (lol) and the devil's music, now its American music
As Rap is currently making that transition the creative youth will come up with another genre

History repeats itself

Just my two cents
